All I know about this is that you need to compile the edk2, then compile the coreboot, then boot the coreboot with shofel2

Hey, how compile coreboot and edk2?
I find .inc files in folders
I use VS 2022

Use Linux. To my knowledge, there's no way to use Windows to build (other than WSL or WSL2).
Some of the instructions are vague, so you may need to use a search engine to find what it means. For example, checkout is a git feature, so you will need git installed on your Linux system.

But i dont know, what start
In Video i see shofel2, what is it?
Although now I'm more interested in:

1. How to make it work?
2. How to start Windows? (I have Windows 11 ARM Build 22543.100, but I don’t understand what to do after compiling the EDK and Coreboot? Where to put the ISO or how start ISO?

[DremOSDeveloperTeam]

I never used it to run Windows, but with my past experience (3+ years ago) of installing Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+, you'll probably have to deploy a the WIM image (this is inside the ISO) using DISM to an SD card. Look up "DISM deploy WIM to drive" or similar for information on this. You will need Windows to deploy.
ShofEL2 is what we use to run Linux distributions on the Switch (but we are repurposing it to run Windows here). As you can see under ShofEL2'Ss usage page, the usage would be something like shofel.py edk2.bin coreboot.rom, where edk2.bin would be what is built by NintendoSwitchPkg and coreboot.rom is what's built by the coreboot repository I linked earler.
This took me hours, not even mentioning the DISM deploy.

I'm also going off memory, and don't have my computer, so some details might be wrong or unclear, apologies. I also never actually used this to install Windows, I installed Linux instead.

Oh shit, this hard....
But as the saying goes: Russians, (and Ukrainians) don't give up! :)
But I have to work all summer to buy myself a Nintendo Switch (And play Russian roulette in search of the 1st revision)
Although the prospect of having Windows in the game console (But without a GPU driver (Is it possible to do it somehow?) weighs me more
It's okay if you don't remember something, because I don't know anything XD
_I literally know the basics, but I don't know the sequence or how to do it (Thanks to you, I figured out where to start, thanks)
Is it okay if I ask you how and what to do? (Well, when I get a Switch (August-September)

I will write a tutorial soon, I will also be uploading the files as a pre-release until Imbushuo is able to finish the project. I will say this, Windows will not work since there are no drivers. Imbushuo already explained to me about that.

[FlawwyNX]

Я напишу учебник в ближайшее время, я также буду загружать файлы в качестве предварительного релиза, пока Imbushuo не сможет завершить проект. Скажу так, Windows работать не будет, так как драйверов нет. Имбушуо уже объяснил мне об этом.

Of course not fully, but even without drivers it should start, ACPI, Processor driver, and driver for external USB devices are enough
Enough for a while, but I'm more interested in whether it will be possible to transfer the driver from linux (Linux for Nintendo Switch has a video card driver, correct me if this is not the case)
I remembered Windows weighing 700MB, without dualboot, but it works! And this means that there were no drivers for than the basic ones.

Thanks for the instruction to launch Coreboot and EDK2
But, how do you start Windows? At least to the recovery mode or even to WinPE?

Windows PE, you would need to download/make a Windows PE ISO and extract that ISO to an SDCard. EDK2 should automatically detect it and load up WinPE. With actual windows? No idea if that is possible ATM considering there are no windows drivers (except for CPU ofc), but you would have to use the same method the Raspberry Pi does afaik. Just apply the install.wim to the SDCard using Dism.

Extract?
Hmm, 7-zip opens ISO easily! I even remember how my PC booted even without Rufus files, I just unpacked the files from iso to a USB flash drive and rebooted the computer
In general, if I install everything according to that tutorial, and then put in an SD card with Windows 10/11 to Switch, then it should, in theory, boot into WinPE?
Question about DISM, there are two versions:
Microsoft DISM (on the command line)
DISM++ (from other people)
What should I use? However, I recommend that you also write instructions for at least starting Windows.
It will help people like me :)
And, due to the fact that system ports and other things are unpopular in our ru-segment, this came as a shock to some inhabitants of VK
Huh, i I feel like some kind of super agent, because I and a few people now know how to "install" Windows on Switch :)))
